Bob, your recovery is an inspiration. The recovery of your speech is awesome. My aunt just had a stroke (different issue to yours) but her speech is affected and I swear showing her your clips is giving her hope and saving her from sinking into depression. I'm also showing her clips of how Grandma Walton (Ellen Corby) soldiered on when she had her stroke back in the '70s, during The Waltons' run.
He didn’t have a stroke.
@Josh Dents Jones then what happened? I haven't watched them in a while.
This video explains: th-cam.com/video/8zFEppGYEKA/w-d-xo.html
@@joshdentsjones1340what happened to him?
@@ricklewis3570 go back about seven months; there’s a video where they describe it. It’s a condition affecting speech and balance, but doesn’t affect mental faculties whatsoever.
Never have been tall, but I'm the same height today at 70 as I was at 20. Been active entire life, still lift free weights at gym, ride bike and walk up hill regularly. Thanks for the info guys.
Bob, your speech is so much improved! You must have been working really hard on your exercises.
Over the years I have lost 3 inches.Your posture videos have been a big help. Some mornings it is almost comical to see what has to be done just to stand up straight, but step by step it can be done.
Thanks for watching!
How?
Been following you guys for years,but especially during the past few months to monitor Bob’s progress. Bob, you are an inspiration !
I needed to see this. I'm 54 years old and just had a bone density test. Everything was normal. However I'm now 5"7 inches and used to be 5.7 3/4 inches. I ve lost almost 3/4 inch. I wanted to know why I'm shrinking lol. It's so upsetting. Thank you for this video!
You are very welcome
You missed vitamin K2 - important for getting the calcium out of the arteries and into the bones. Great video! K2, D3, and magnesium are a great combination!
You need vitamin k2 to direct calcium into the teeth and bones instead of your heart arteries and other organs! Grass fed and grass finished beef, grass fed cream, grass fed butter, all which have vitamin K2. Green leafy veggies have vitamin K1 which is different but rich in calcium but without K2, calcium will wind up in your organs! As for exercise, strength resistance training for your muscles and bones! This one case where if you don’t use it, you will lose it! I hang daily from the pull-up bar for one minute at a time,m2x daily for grip strength and posture. Important is working those hip flexors and other core exercises. I am 74 years of age and am at my optimal weight of 150 for five years now, after having lost 65 lbs of fat! I am at 11% body fat!
Recipes please, simple one's. 🤗🦊
You two have such great energy. Always a treat to see a new vid
Bob s humor always keeping the vids entertaining...you guys are a great team, thanks for all you do gentlemen
I use to be 5’2” now at 68 yrs old, I’m 5’ 🤦🏻♀️ Oh forgot to mention…I’m not only getting shorter but my feet have gotten bigger, from a size 7 to an 8. I’ve always heard that when you get older, you shrink and your feet get bigger, 🤷🏻♀️ don’t know how true that is but it’s true for me!! 🤦🏻♀️🥴
good subject for me and I get to see Bob's progress ---win, win---also Brad you work so well before and now with the Bob---it is good you have each other, and we have you both :)
I love the cheerful Bob and Brad music 🎶
I've got a feeling this will be one of your more successful videos!
My oldest grandson helps me keep good posture.He is always checking I don’t slouch!
Grandkids!
They are good for something!
Haha 😂!
My grandson lived next door. He would come over to get me to come walk around the block. 3 circuits is one mile.
Now he's gone for training in the Reserves. I sure do miss him-- but he left me with some goals to reach❣
Yep, lost 2 inches in height, 20 years of being in osteopenia - no medication. Posture is good, no rounded shoulders for me! Love the videos you did with Sarah Meeks. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and helpful exercises!
I’m an RN, so lots of friends and family ask me questions about pains all over the body. I’m fast to refer them to you guys!!! Your videos have been helpful to me for years, so I pass them forward!!!
Bob, your doing great!!! Brad, you’re one of the best teachers on the internet. What a team!❤
Bob and Brad are great. Thanks for bringing on Sarah Meeks as well
Great video! I need to work on my posture and I never knew I could use the wall for this!
Used to be 5'9 1/2". Now at 65 I'm 5'7". Compressed discs, ddd, stenosis, no disc at all at L4-5.
I’ve lost 1 1/2” and sure feel it in my lower back. Happy to see that there are exercises that may help correct some of this. Thank you for this video.
Using Nordic walking poles greatly helps my posture!
If vitamin k2 with D3 (D3/k2) and magnesium (malate), it will keep calcium where it belongs and slow or prevent shrinking or Sarcopenia.
If it's extreme, taking amino acids will give the building blocks if you are unable to eat.
I am still 5'6" and 53 yrs, admittedly do yoga daily but nutrition is the building blocks for everything.
Thank you kindly for the informative video.
I'm sorry to hear about Bob's diagnosis ... A lifetime ago I was married to a man (now deceased) who had 2 brothers who were afflicted with Friedrich's Ataxia (both are also deceased) ... Apparently this is a genetic disease that requires both parents to have the gene in order for the condition to manifest ... When they were alive, the internet was not what it is today, so I can only suggest that he read up on his condition as much as possible ... It's been my real life experience that doctors are not always aware of the latest and greatest treatments out there that can help, and I absolutely cringe when they ask you "Do you have any questions?" Sometimes you just don't know what to ask! Doctors should be the educators and providing information to the patient instead of making you fish for it!! The disease affects everyone differently and I am praying that there's some clinical trial that maybe he can participate in to curb the progression for as long as possible. The earlier you get treatment the better -- clinical trials are all about high success rates. God bless and very best wishes 💙
Father God, we pray for You to touch Brad and heal him. In the mighty Name of Jesus we ask. Thank You, Lord.
They are busy. I think they may also be concerned about your level of understanding and your willingness to learn.
Go ahead and tell them I don't know what to ask but I do want to learn. I think they will guide you and if not find one who will.
Love the “BE TALL” at the end😂. You guys are a delight
I really like the friendship you guys have had.
They're not dead yet
@@Milkman4279 and they appear to still be friends?
Mr brad is a very kind man. I noticed that he repeat everything that mr bead says, so we can understand him.
I use my Bob and Brad resistance bands EVERY day for different exercises. I absolutely love it. Best purchase ever made and I tell everyone they should get them!
Thanks Bob for reminding us to watch out for the yellow snow!!! Thank you also Brad.
I wish you a very happy new year, Bob & Brad.
I was already short at 5'3", but just found out on Dec. 15 last year that I'm now only 5'1"! I can't afford to lose more height---my kitchen shelves are already out of reach!!!
Your professional Advice is phenominal! Im 30 yrs old and suffer from hip back piri and sciatica. Give us more booyah stick exersizes ! Blessings.
Great tips guys & reminds us that some shrinkage is a normal part of aging & an unavoidable part of being human. It's so easy to forget about consistently maintaining good posture. BTW Bob's sense of humor is as awesome as ever, you both rock!!
Wow. Missed you guys!! Healthy reminders for self care. !!!
I really enjoy y'all. So full of knowledge & humor. I love it. Thank you.😊
Just listening to you now definitely makes me want to stand up very tall and straight! I don't sit up straight but I sure will from now on! Im a 'wall angel' now!
Thank you so much for all your great info!
You are very welcome :) Thank you for watching
Thank you Bob for being so inspirational 🙏 ❤
Vitd3, with vitk2, magnesium for bones and also heart and blood vessel health ❤
Love you guys. Wishing you both the very best in 2023.
Ye gentlemen are great. I wish you a speedy recovery Bob.
I was just thinking about it. Love your channel 😊👍
I just had my very two year Dexa scan, I lost and inch in height and now have mild osteopenia. I’m 67 and enjoy your videos.
I was 5'4" leaving the military. Just before my XLIF for DDD, I was 5'2". After my 2nd surgery, and ALIF, I am now 5'3", but no longer tilted from the lumbarized L5/S1. I expect once all my bad discs are repaired, I'll return to 5'4"!
I'd take that.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Bob and Brad .Happy New Year .keep up the good work 👍
An important video with some very good exercises. But it's Vitamin K2 (not K1) that's beneficial for bone health. K1 helps with blood coagulation.
I’m almost 75. I was 5 5 1/2 and now an 5.4. When the doctor told me I was 5.4 I said no way and she measured me again. So I went home and measured again. Yep 5.4
Hahaha. Funny. Same thing happened to me! I was 5’3” and one day I got measured at docs office and I was 5’2”. I made the tech measure me again as well. I was 5’2”. I couldn’t believe it.
I do the wall angels on the floor with my legs up the wall. Amazing stretches and I’ve see a big difference in my ability to open my chest and touch my arms to the floor.
I feel taller already! Thanks guys!🙏😄👍🏻🤸🏼
You go girl!
@@chrisdevalcourt648
🙏
Great to see Bob ❤
Great video. Thank you both!
0f course I had to do the wall test. I am 53. I am good so far. Praise the Lord. 🙏
I have been wanting to be taller my entire life. I am 5' so the thought of shrinking is terrifying. 😬😬
You are a spring chicken!
Age is a blessing!
Attitude is a choice!
Love your content Bob and Brad. Have been regularly doing your sitting abdominal exercises for over a year. They are working well so thanks very much!
Brad,
when you took the model of compressed backbone off-screen, you returned and said,
I'm back
and I immediately said.....no, you're Brad!
Loooove you guys' humor! You two keep this up: still prefer you two to your guests, they lack the personal repore!
Bob & Brad, just wondering, what about doing some weight resistance training in d gym to build up bone density, which may slow down or prevent height loss?
Be tall! Happy New Year Bob and Brad.
Great video. I try to be conscious of my posture all the time. I've noticed that I slouch when driving. I also get Rolfing regularly.
"Be tall." That says it all. Beautiful.
Brad youre doing awesome and have great patience. Keep it up buddy. Bob, youre funny dude and keep it up
I'm 55+ and I did not shrink. I am still almost 5'9 female. 😃
I'm 53. I've always been 5'10½".
In the last few years, I've been doing regular annual physicals. They say I'm 5'9" 😒
Reality!
Hanging works great for aligning my back. 😉
HRT is critical for post-menopausal women to help prevent osteoporosis.
I love you guys,you have helped me so much 💞 thank you.
Great to hear!! Thanks for watching
Thanks for your videos, really appreciate you guys.
Great tip, and valuable advice.🏋
Really useful thanks appreciated 👍
We love y’all! Lord, bless and heal our beloved Brad! Bless Bob, too, Father!
When I was in 8th Grade (12 years old or thereabouts), I was the third tallest person in the school at 5 feet 8 inches. A few years later I was up to 5 feet 10-1/2 inches; I'm now 74 and I've shrunk back down to the height I was when I was 12!
That's how it works, lol!
You're normal!
Don't it feel good?
@@chrisdevalcourt648 This is the first time in my life someone has said I'm "normal" and that includes my parents! 😸
@@kalinystazvoruna8702 glad to help!
But if you are a child of the Most High you are just what He is looking for!
@@chrisdevalcourt648 Well, if someone's looking for me, I'll do my best to stay as hidden as possible.
Great video ! Thanks for the inspiration. (from Eve Green San Rafael California)
Is it true that we are at our tallest in the morning, when we first get up? Would that be the best time to check for shrinkage? Thanks so much for all the helpful tips. You are GIANTS in my book. 😉
I'm always shorter after talking to my boss.
thanks! You are tallest in the morning but there is no best time to measure height :)
55 and still the same height as in high school, even with degenerative osteoarthritis. I credit my inversion table. Also, I've eaten plant-based for over 30 years.
Can you share the type of inversion table you use and like?
@@maureengreen617 It is a HangUps. It is at least 25 years old!
@@mattball2700 thank you! You can’t get a better recommendation than 25 years of satisfaction.
@@maureengreen617 My wife, Anne Green (who has a cousin named Maureen) doesn't like it - hurts her feet too much.
@@mattball2700 that is good to know. I’ll do my research. I’d love to find something.
God Bless. Ty for a great video
Love you both and your videos. I have lost 2 1/2 inches and am 67. This is very interesting to me!
My doctor just told me this week that I'm starting to get scoliosis. Is there a way to correct it now before it gets worse? This happened to my mom and now she can barely walk without a walker.
Thanks so much you guys are great!!
I have been 6'1" all my life. The last time I went to the doctor they measured my height. They say I'm 5'10" now. 😑
I once used resistance band (10:50) in exercise class and a day or so later I noticed my wrist hurting so it must have been the band I used (even though I used a weaker band). Guess I have weak wrists at mid 60s).
Great vid👍🏻
What's the worst that can happen in the end? Turned 50 was 5' 8 3/4" now 5' 7", have crohns since 1990 had 4 surgeries, diagnosed with many other issues but osteopenia, bone density showed a continued loss, even after all the vitamins and mineral supplements.
Drs aren't very fourth coming since I'm a "peculiar case overall." Mayo drs have said MS is my future and cancer. Not very good bedside manners lol
No one gets out alive!
In all things give thanks!
Not far all things, but in all situations.
@@chrisdevalcourt648 agreed! Do believe it was a blessing not a curse, overall. Helped me to become who I am today. Have a great family. Have never felt sorry for myself. Not once. Was upset in the beginning. But always moved forward.
I used to be 5' 8", now at 69 I am 5' 6"! So, I am all ears!!
Thanks guys
Don't know if I'm getting shorter because I live alone but will do the exercises any way, can't hurt.
Back at the my inversion table now 2 times a day around lunch time and right before bed would this also help instead of the stretches or do I need to add the stretches also. Thx and cheers
I miss seeing Bob in the advertisements!!!! It's always Brad now....???
What about using a teeter totter table?
th-cam.com/video/1TA6jlF09JE/w-d-xo.html
@@BobandBrad Thank you again, Bob and Brad.
I somehow grew one inch between 33-43? No idea how!
I lost an inch? Inseam was 34" now it's 30". I have a disc disease.
Do runners shrink more?
When my doctor told me I'd lost 1/2 inch of height, I wondered: usually my appointments are first thing in the morning, but that time it was in the afternoon - could I be "shrinking" during the day, like discs compressing? So the next day I measured myself every hour or so, and sure enough I did lose a little height as the day went on. I have also lost a little height for real, but these tips will help me slow down the process. Thanks you guys! 😊
Dear Bob I will be praying for your full recovery. Pls listen to the audio book or buy the book of heaven conversion of our blessed Lord with this Italian woman named Luisa Piccarrati ( hope I’m spelling it right ) I believe whole heartedly it will give immense hope and courage to bare your cross and to know that those of us that suffer in this life are blessed as we are walking in our Lord’s path to our salvation. Forgive my poor English! I hope you get to see this message! JMJ
Dairy is a no no. Haven't had it regularly since 1983. I concur with green leafy veggies. I'm the same height as I was when I was 12: 5'5" and I'm 70. Been off and on primarily vegan since 1982, just no cow or pig foods, and vegan since 2005. I learned by observing my dad and mom's food choices resulting in deseases, mostly angina/afib and RA and wanted no part of it. My vegan meals are delicious and balanced...I just eat too much...lol I do have a pull up bar from which I decompress, so zoom weights, kb, mobility & balance 3x a week and OTF the rest. I need to start walking again.
I am over 70 and eat a keto diet with amazing results. However, The only exercise I get is walking my dog 2 to 4 times per day. I have osteoporosis and some osteopenia and am 1 1/4” shorter. Posture is only slightly off due to SI joint pain and ruptured 5th lumbar. Can I still do these exercises with this combination of issues? Keto has reversed my diabetes to no insulin and no pills so does it help with boneless? You said diet is important.
Hi guys, great video, now I'm 60 this year and a truck driver. Ok I certainly understand about the back issue you talk about. But how about this, I ride motorcycles and have found I'm now struggling to touch the floor, it's like my legs have shrunk?? Is this perhaps of my work mentioned, and my legs not as flexible? Can you help please
Love the exercises for osteo..im a female 73. Had a bone density test and found I shrunk 2 inches since 3 yrs ago
My Dr. Is recommending Prolia injections. What are your thoughts? Pro or Con. Im hesitant to start these infections. Thank you
@mariav9144, I am a few years younger than you. I noticed I had lost some height and started eating a lot of collagen. My theory is our discs shrink due to lack of collagen. Within a few months, I realized I could see the top of my fridge which I hadn't been able to see before. It has also helped my joints and my skin. The only down side is at first it can cause constipation. I hope this helps.
@@thisorthat7626 what kind of collagen are you using? 🤗🦊
I need to duct tape a stick to my back. 😆
Be tall, says it all:)
I shrunk over an inch in less than four months. My overall shrinkage in the last two years has been over three inches. I used to be 5'10" and now I'm only 5'7". I have 34" legs and if I keep shrinking at this rate, I'm going to look pretty funny... Real long legs with a real short torso. That will look kind of goofy, if you ask me. My lumbar part of my spine is wrapped with arthritis so the vertebrae don't move separately like they were designed to do. The arthritis has fused that part of my spine together and has limited my ability to turn from side to side or to look behind me. I have to turn my entire body to do that. There are days where I know I have actually shrunk because when I stand in front of the kitchen sink my brain notices it's closer to me than it was yesterday. I also feel shorter when it comes to my brain judging how far above the floor I stand.. My brain notices the floor is closer to me. Those days used to be far and few between but lately I have the feeling of being noticably shorter several days a week. My paternal grandmother lost 6" before she passed away and had a hunch back so bad the top of her head was lower than her back. I imagine I'm going to have to live with alot of back pain in my golden years. I'm 59 now and am not looking forward to my sixties and seventies because of it as the pain increases more and more as I age. Puts a real downer on aging for me.
You guys are so funny ! LOL
I'm only 37 and already I'm an inch shorter than I used to be. That can't be good.
Love bob
Doctor today..... .lost half an inch .....jumped on the inversion table ...twice ..5 minutes each remeasured gained 1.5 inches ....
